After being foiled by Captain Dylan Hunt, he resolved to remove Hunt from his position of power. He used his faction to replace or compromise Hunt's allies in the government. Later, Pish charged Dylan with treason, subjecting him to a show trial. The senior officers of the Andromeda Ascendant were called as witnesses in an attempt to destroy their credibility. However, they all took the offensive and made Tryan appear as a desperate witch-hunter.

After being found guilty, Hunt escaped the planet and faced Tryan in orbit above Tarazed. Tri-Lorn, Captain Hunt's secret ally, refused to engage, forcing the Collectors to fight the Andromeda alone. The Collectors were destroyed and Pish likely perished onboard the Collector Ship.
